Nothing more to say really, if it's been organised it'll be here.

Graham, will give you a call tonight mate if your about.

Boris, unlucky mate, but the 400 i am sure will perform admirably and you will be happy in heart to take it.

Guys as mentioned before, fuel in france and germany is more expensive than here, so fill up before the train so we can chew the first 100 odd miles easily. I know its 4 hours on motorway, however we have all day and i sugest after the first hundred miles or so we hit the lanes and go a more direct route weather permitting.

CBR is ready to go - i found the key for it at last, and the battery is on an optimate. it will be fine, but my heart still tells me to sod it, and take the ducati.
Marisa and I will be getting to the tunnel in time for Breakfast, so we'll prob aim to be there shortly after 8. What sort of time is everyone else intending to get there?

Looking forward to catching up with old faces and meeting some new ones. Can't wait to get going now.

Paul - I'm happy to take the country route, agree it would be a good idea to munch through a few motorway miles first though, then we've plenty of time to play about with routes on the way. In the past I've just got there as quickly as possible, but as I'm restricting my laps this time I'm happy to get there whenever. It'll also break the trip up a bit, as I'll probably be heading back the short quick route to get to Calais.

Thats a good point there phil, as we are all going to turn up in dribs and drabs, if we all agree to make sure we choose the same time to leave, i know you can often choose the earlier train if quiet and as such may not all be together by accident.
be good to meet at least a hour before in the terminal, gives us chance to get a brew (and food in my case) and all meet up and have a natter before we board

I'm guessing we'll be getting there for about 8. We can always meet the travelodgers outside their rooms seen as Gareth needs my card to get through the tunnel barriers.
Too spensiff!!!

right i'm basically all set, gear together bike cleaned oiled and checked over.

Train is booked for 9am as well martin i'll try ringing you tomorrow afternoon bporbably mate or evening depending on when your riding to winchester and we'll sort out a meet point for saturday am. I was probably going to leave my house about half six to get to folkestone for just afetr 8.

Paul if your staying at your sisters again mate could possibly meet at the service station or is wise to just all gather at the tunnel (thinking along the lines of burger king/ fatboys breakfast blowout place)

I'm about tonight on same no. as before if you need to ring
2009 trip best country..... Columbia absoloutely breathtaking
